My lovely niece sent me this picturesque valley of rolling plains divided by the winding Cagayan River. The city is blessed with a moderate and pleasant climate that is almost typhoon free, and a wealth of natural resources and tourist attractions.

Reminder

Like a little child by Shirley Wilkin

Lord -
give us a sense of wonder
for the beauty of this earth.
Open our eyes to its glory,
for you, Lord, gave it birth.
Give us sense of wonder like that of a little child,
who only sees the glory -
not that which is defiled -
whose ears are open to each new sound -
whose eyes are open wide -
whose innocence and wonder
comes from deep inside -
who laughs with glee when
autumn leaves
Come tumbling to the ground -
whose joy and sheer enthusiasm
seems to know no bounds.
Lord -
give us a sense of wonder
at your majesty and power -
as we see the wonder of your
love portrayed
in every tree and flower.
